Options for upgrading the scoreboard in Tiger Arena was the topic of a 25-minute presentation by athletic director Bryan Wormley at Monday night’s Nevis School Board meeting.

He said with a basketball shot clock requirement coming down the road, it might be time to look at upgrading to a new scoreboard. He said the Scorevision option is less expensive than Daktronic and incorporates newer technology.

Wormley said Walker-Hackensack-Akeley School District has a 15-by-8-foot monitor on one end of the gym and a 10-by-6-foot monitor on the other end.

The Scorevision options range around $90,000 for two 10-by-6-foot scoreboards, while in comparison Daktronic would be approximately $110,000. Advertising by local businesses on the scoreboards could help offset the cost.

“We haven't decided on anything yet,” Wormley said after the meeting. “We were just giving the board information on a Scorevision as an option as they are used to Daktronic. We are definitely shopping, but we haven't decided on a price point, as of yet, or brand.”
